An X-ray diffraction method for determining the amount of xenotime in a zircon sample [PDF]
An X-ray method was developed for determining the amount of xenotime or zircon in a zircon ‒ xenotime sample. Such analyses are useful in establishing whether a solid solution exists between xenotime and zircon or whether there is a separate xenotime ...

Discovery of mafic impact melt in the center of the Vredefort dome:archetype for continental residua of early Earth cratering? [PDF]
Melting by impact heating is thought to have been a significant process in the modification of early planetary crusts; however, crustally derived melt bodies in ancient terrestrial crust are frequently presumed to be absent due to erosion.

U–Pb zircon ages of the host rocks of the Juomasuo Au–Co–Cu deposit, northeastern Finland [PDF]
The Salittu Formation is one of the few metavolcanic successions in the U-Pb zircon single grain dating using the LA-MC-ICP-MS technique was utilized to determine the age of the host rocks of the Juomasuo Au-Co-Cu deposit located in the late Archean ...

Post-Variscan thermal evolution of the flanks of the southern Upper Rhine Graben : fission-track analyses and thermal modelling [PDF]
The Upper Rhine Graben (URG) is the most discernible part of the European Cenozoic rift system. Uplifted Variscan basement is exposed in the Black Forest and the Vosges and forms the flanks of the southern URG.

Patterns of Late Cenozoic exhumation deduced from apatite and zircon U-He ages from Fiordland, New Zealand [PDF]
New apatite and zircon (U-Th)/He ages from the Fiordland region of New Zealand's South Island expand on earlier results and provide new constraints on patterns of Late Cenozoic exhumation and cooling across this region.

Extensional faulting on Tinos island, Aegean sea, Greece: How many detachments? [PDF]
Zircon and apatite fission track (ZFT and AFT) and (U-Th)/He, 40Ar/39Ar hornblende, and U-Pb zircon ages from the granites of Tinos Island in the Aegean Sea, Greece, suggest, together with published ZFT data, that there are three extensional detachments ...

Timing of deposition, orogenesis and glaciation within the Dalradian rocks of Scotland: constraints from U-Pb zircon ages [PDF]
The stratigraphical and structural continuity of the Late Proterozoic Dalradian rocks of the Scottish Highlands is re-examined in the light of new U-Pb zircon ages on the tuffs belonging to the Tayvallich Volcanic Formation (601 ñ 4 Ma), and on the late ...
